research Synthesis of phenanthridin-3-one derivatives: Non-steroidal inhibitors of steroid 5-α-reductase

20 citations , June 1995 in “Tetrahedron Letters”

This study reported that newly synthesized phenanthridin-3-one derivatives effectively inhibit human steroid 5-α-reductase.

research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens

12 citations , April 1995 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry”

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

research Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones: A Novel Class of Potent and Selective Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 1

28 citations , September 2000 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry”

This study identified novel compounds as selective inhibitors of the type 1 isoenzyme of 5α-reductase, displaying promising potential for treating DHT-dependent disorders such as acne and androgenic alopecia.

research Novel type 1 5a-reductase Inhibitors with Antiproliferative Potential on LNCaP cells

June 2023 in “Oriental Journal of Chemistry/Oriental journal of chemistry”

This study demonstrated that derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone (2a-b, 3a-f, and 4a-f) significantly reduced viable LNCaP prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential therapeutic use for metastatic prostate cancer, while finasteride did not alter cell viability.

research Avicequinone C Isolated from Avicennia marina Exhibits 5α-Reductase-Type 1 Inhibitory Activity Using an Androgenic Alopecia Relevant Cell-Based Assay System

19 citations , May 2014 in “Molecules”

This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibits 5α-reductase type 1, reducing 5α-DHT production by 52% in a cell-based assay with human hair dermal papilla cells.

community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

in Is this regrowth? 451 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced significant hair regrowth after three months of using 5 mg oral minoxidil nightly and plans to add finasteride to maintain progress. Many recommend combining minoxidil with finasteride or dutasteride to prevent future hair loss.

community 3 months progress (1mg oral fin + 2.5 mg oral min)

21 upvotes 4 months ago

A 33-year-old male shared his 3-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride and 2.5mg oral minoxidil, along with supplements and serums, reporting thicker hair and new growth in thinning areas without side effects. Users suggested considering dutasteride or a hair transplant for better results, while others encouraged continuing the current regimen for at least a year.

community My muscles & butt are disappearing on finas, and I’m only taking it because my hair was vanishing too. Help! Details below.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 7 upvotes 5 years ago

A 39 year old female who has been taking finasteride for 1.5 months and is experiencing side effects such as muscle and butt shrinkage, and weight loss despite still having tight clothing. The user is seeking advice from those with knowledge of bodybuilding and hormones to help figure out the issue.

community When did your regrowth level out?

in Treatment 58 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair regrowth typically levels out after several months of treatment with finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, with many users experiencing stabilization rather than significant regrowth. Starting treatment early is crucial, as regrowth is rare beyond Norwood 3 without additional interventions like hair transplants.
